Chapter 18: Chen Guo
The speed of the airship is extremely fast, even if it is far from being compared with Wang Yue wearing a battle armor to push himself to supersonic speed, it is extremely exaggerated for most people in the world to run only a hundred kilometers per hour.
So an hour after setting off, before noon, Nan Zhong Liwen was talking to Wang Yue, and unconsciously found that he was already in the land of Shen State, and even Shen Nan had crossed most of it.
This discovery shocked him inexplicably.
He carefully calculated, at this rate, wouldn't it be possible to reach the territory of the Achievement Room without using it at night?
Evil, this is a trip that he used to have to walk for more than 20 days without stopping.
The airship was flying so fast, and he was a little overwhelmed by how fast it was.
Almost immediately, he remembered that he had spent most of the year on the road, and in fact it took dozens of days to do things... If he also had one of these airships, wouldn't he be able to free up all the time he had to travel?
Except for a small number of external affairs, the rest of the time can be used to work for the family, and you can also take care of the family business a little?
Nam Chung Reemun thinks like this, which shows that he is indeed a person who does practical things.
Otherwise, like the other people on the airship, most of them are still amazed that they are flying in the sky, feeling the various impact experiences brought to them by looking down on the earth from a high vantage point, and they don't know what to think with their faces full of excitement.
At noon, the airship docked slightly over the border between Shennan and Ye.
After a brief lunch on the boat, the two serpentine warriors rested for half an hour and then continued to set off, continuing westward into the Ye Kingdom, and soon reaching the farthest east of the Chen Kingdom through the Ye Kingdom... The territory sandwiched between the four kingdoms of Ye, Cao, Shaoshang, and Shangyang.
As soon as he entered this place, Wang Yue immediately felt the difference from other countries, the biggest difference was the terrain, Shen and Ye were both mountains and mountains, as soon as he entered Chen country, Wang Yue found that this place was almost all large plains, even if there were mountains, it was not high, and there were forests and flat forests.
There is no doubt that the plains are easier to develop and thrive than the mountains.
This can even be seen intuitively.
In the Shen Kingdom, including Jidi, Wang Yue saw large areas of undeveloped land, especially in the border areas, where mountains and forests stretched, and the roads in between, ordinary caravans and the like, often took a day or two to pass.
These are not available in Chen Guo.
Looking down from the sky, Wang Yue's eyes of the plains and mountains are not nothing, but there are not many, more seem not to grow naturally, but artificially planted, interspersed in such forests are countless large and small manors, villages, towns, and large fields.
It is rumored that Chen Ren is very tidy, talking about his battle formation, and on the other hand, it also reflects his rigorous and orderly style.
It is clear that the villages, towns, and fields below have been affected by this style, and they all seem to be extremely orderly.
Whether it is a building or a field, Wang Yue knows at a glance that there must have been a plan, and it is definitely not the messy kind of building a house in the east and opening a piece of land in the west.
Listening to the rumors in the past, and then looking at the following, it is really not without reason that Chen Guo is the overlord of the world.
This rigorous and orderly attitude alone may be enough to crush the nations, because this is the mentality of really doing practical things.
Some time ago, Wang Yue and Shen Zhi had a discussion about the countries.
In the view of the current Legalist school, if there is any country in the world that can replace the Chengmu or unify the world in the future, there are only two countries, one is the Chen State, which is the first hegemon today, and the other is the Yong State in the land of Xitui.
Although both countries have their own problems, the other major powers do not have any of them, and they do not even have the foundation.
Suiguo in the north of Cai Guo, the whole atmosphere in the country is conservative and difficult to change, and it is destined to not keep up with the pace of the world's great power chariots, thirty or fifty years ago, everyone was the same, he could still come out and show his head, but the more he went forward, the weaker he could only become.
The adjacent Cai State, even if it is not so organized by Wang Yue, there are also big problems.
Cai Guoren is eloquent, fantasical, enjoyable, luxurious and lacking in reality.
If there is a debate and quarrel in the world, it is estimated that few people in other countries can be opposed, but when it comes to actually doing things, there is only hehe.
In the whole country is a talent who has grown up in this atmosphere, and most of the people who can do things are also affected by this, and they are better at playing scheming with their heads. How strong can it be?
Cai Guo is a good foundation, relying on the sea to get the benefits of sea salt, in the old days there was a landlord's foundation, opened a lot of gold mines, copper mines, so that most of the world's currency is Cai Guo bronze horn... Because of this, he is rich, and there are no powerful countries around, so he has to be hegemonic for a while.
The southern Jing country has a vast area, but there are too many domestic forces, except for water transportation, transportation is difficult... None of this matters, because they can all be changed.
The key is that Jing people are romantic by nature and act too emotionally, so they tend to prefer to play with things that are empty and neglect the facts, and they do things at will... When you rise, you will do it, and if you want to go, you will abandon it, and you will remember that one is one out... It's hard to make a big deal.
The people of Yongguo are located in the west, and they have been fighting with the demon for a long time, and their people love to admit death, all of them are brave and ruthless, and their sex is as fierce as fire, and they can start fighting if they don't agree with each other... I don't know why I can't afford to lose the most, once I have a grudge with someone, even if I fight hard, I have to bite it back, and if I can't do it, it will take several generations to retaliate.
In the eyes of the Fa family, if this kind of character can be restrained by the law, if it can be used to do practical things, its bold and willing to work hard, and its long-term execution power, there will be no one in the world who can compare with it, and its strong country may be enough in one generation.
Finally, this Chen Guo is what Wang Yue sees now, although he has not gone down to take a closer look at it at the moment, it is enough to see a lot just by looking at the airship.
A country that can plan all the villages and fields in the border areas can imagine the high efficiency of its national administration and organization.
Some of the mountains and forests are artificially planted, and Wang Yue saw that the development and utilization of the existing land in this country may have achieved the extreme that an agricultural country can achieve under the conditions of existing science and technology and productivity, otherwise this phenomenon will never occur... This is an over-exploitation of arable land... has begun to affect the environment... I have to pay attention to the environment, Chen Guo's agriculture is so strong that it is... It is no wonder that it can support the Chen State and achieve the hegemony of the princes of Jiukuang during the continuous civil wars.
The fact that there are gallops that extend in all directions below, which is equivalent to a modern highway, and that there are countless business travelers and convoys on the gallop roads that do not seem to have been affected by Chen's civil war, which is even more impressive.
Looking at these, compared with Cai Guo's variety, Wang Yue knew that although the difference between the size of the two countries was not far away, the gap in national strength was probably not a little bit.
"Lord Nanzhong, which of Chen's territory is this?"
"It's the leader of the Wei family. Nam Chung Liwen said.
"Wei's?" Wang Yue asked again: "Are the territories of the other families in the Chen Kingdom the same as below?"
Nan Zhong Liwen shook his head and said: "The various families of the Chen Kingdom have developed better with the Wei clan's territory, the territory is not the largest, but the overall strength is not far worse than the Xun clan, the first family today, and the Xun clan is also strong by virtue of the largest territory, more population, and occupying the best land." ”
"As for the Zhang family, it is inferior to two in agriculture and goods and breeding, but there are coal, copper, gold (iron) and other mines in its country, and the fortifications are extremely prosperous. ”
"The weakest Zhao clan, the territory is mostly close to the north of the Chen State, most of them are newly opened land, and the people are the people of the former Bai Di, so that no matter the land is fertile, the size, the population is not as good as the others, and because of the proximity to the land of the mountains and the Di people, there is almost no war for many years, and it is relatively poor, but the warriors, soldiers, military vehicles, battle arrays and even generals in the territory are the best in the Chen State. ”
"I see. Wang Yue was thoughtful.
The Wei clan below has developed the territory so far, but it is not enough... I actually asked the Legalist school to change the law for it... If there is no accident, he will definitely be the most powerful person in Chen in the future, and if there is another soldier to assist, it must be amazing.
If it weren't for the various contradictions in his country, his national strength alone would be enough to defeat the kingdom of the world, not to mention that his military strength is unparalleled in the world? It is not too easy to unify the world. (To be continued.) )
